Better, but still many mistakes to really pressure the blacks. I also thought the blacks clocked off after about 25 mins. IT would have been interesting to see what would have happened if gits had of kicked that loong range penalty. Anyway, well done to the blacks. Best team over the first...

MAnly lose it forward and Woodies hold on 19-15 great last 10 mins or so In other results penrith upset norths

3 mins to go manly line out on woods 22 manly penalty now in front of posts, they go the line

Woods up 19-15 with 15 to go

The All Blacks at the ruck are like my 3 year old daughter, a little bit naughty all the time. Like me the refs don't really know how to deal with it. Do you ignore it and hope it goes away? Do you punish them a little bit each time? Or do you make the punishments progessively more severe so...

Gagger, you may need to go back and pick up those names you dropped back there in that post...

They ran out in playing kit only and were ready to stumble straight after the anthems

The blacks had been the offending in this regard early in the game so Elsom complains. Joubert says tell him and McCaw that he will take strong action next time. Ch7 shows McCaw very clearly telling his team to put the ball down and get back onside ASAP from now on, which his team listen to...

Having had 36 hours to consider this further, I have come to the view that the thing the Wallabies are lacking the most is mental hardness. By mental toughness I am referring to the additional hunger, urgency, consistency, desperation and self belief that differentiate the great players/teams...

Quote from the NZ Herald which is spot on the mark, Wholesale changes isn't go to do a whole lot to address that in one week. I am worried that bringing in someone like Higgers will see a repeat of browns performance last night - lots of effort, but most if it ineffectual and one out...

IT mwould be easier to give 3, 2 and 1 to the worst players. 3. Pocock 2. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 1. S Fainga'a

Even though I expected the blacks to win, I am still gutted. That was a limp wristed performance from the Wobbs but they seem to becoming a regular occurance now so I shouldn't be surprised. The lack of intensity and deparation was evident from the kick off, but look at almost any tackle, ruck...

De Blacks 29, De Golds 27, with Gits missing a vbery kickable goal to proove the difference

Well done all Blacks. Yet another convincing win at Eden Park. When was the last time the All Blacks lost there? I found a draw against the boks in the 1994 series but I think the last lost even predates that. The boks will be better this week and Wellington may suit them better if its...

Riddler, here is the write up of the Souths-Highlanders game in the local rag. I think I like your write up better.

Continuing with my flipping and flopping on Deans, its just (and only just) possible that he has deliberately not prepared the squad well for the June tests to make them work hard, scrap through and bounce back as required. He will have seen how this team has sailed through the June tests in...

I am tipping the All Blacks. The boks have a harder draw this year and I think their team is not quite as strong as last year. Conversely the blacks have improved and with 2 homes games v the boks, should be able get the choccies. I have no idea where we will finish, probably last, however...
